THE WAVE: RECAP: Part 3

Wednesday, August 12, 2009

This past week a number of us had the awesome opportunity to go down the VA Beach for the Wave conference. It was truly a life-changing couple of days. Each session was practical, convicting and inspiring. They seemed to build on each other and flow like only God could have arranged. I've asked a number of the team members who went to give us an update on their experience at the conference.

Here's what Bethany had to say about the conference last week.

The Wave conference was awesome. There was so much that I got out of it…but the 1 thing that keeps going through my mind (that I have been meditating on) is this: The first mark of the beast was the “?” when the serpent asked Eve “"Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?" His intention was to have her question what God had spoken/promised.

How many times does God promise us something, and we question what He has said (which connects to what Hunter said below by questioning and talking too much we can talk ourselves out of our victory). Anyway, there are so many times in my personal life, as well as in ministry that when I don’t see the immediate response of a promise fulfilled that I tend to question where God is in the situation or what is really going on or doubt that God really has made a promise in a certain situation. Jentezen Franklin continued on to say that a “?” is just a bent out of shape “!”. Instead of questioning what God is doing or what is going on, or doubting….it’s the time to declare God’s promises, God’s word and praise Him for what He IS doing, even though we can’t see it in our natural eyes. Plus it makes us happier (in my own opinion) because we are not looking at the natural which can be depressing, but we are looking at Jesus who gives us hope and JOY. :D

I would plan on going next year…it will change your life!!!
